Details

The Departments for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), and previously Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), have awarded £69.5 million in funding for innovative longer duration energy storage projects through the Longer Duration Energy Storage Demonstration (LODES) Programme Stream 1 (Phase 1 and Phase 2) and Stream 2 (Phase 1 and Phase 2).

Stream 1

Stream 1 aims to accelerate commercialisation of innovative longer duration energy storage projects through to actual demonstrations. During Phase 1, projects will be expected to mobilise their proposed technologies to prepare for potential deployment on the UK energy system.

5 projects were funded through Stream 1 Phase 1, covering 2 out of the 3 potential technology areas that were in scope of the competition:

• power-to-X energy storage
• electrical energy storage

No projects were awarded funding through the thermal energy storage technology category.

One project was funded through Stream 1 Phase 2.

See the application details for Stream 1

Stream 2

Stream 2 aims to accelerate commercialisation of innovative longer duration energy storage projects through to first-of-a-kind (FOAK) full-system prototypes. Phase 1 projects will be expected to deliver a feasibility study report for their proposed technology and contribute to knowledge dissemination and sector capacity-building.

19 projects were funded through Stream 2 Phase 1, covering all 3 technology areas:

• thermal energy storage
• power-to-X energy storage
• electrical energy storage

7 projects were funded through Stream 2 Phase 2, covering all 3 technology areas.
